Premier League Betting: Kane’s City record, Leicester set-piece woes and fast-starting Southampton

WhoScored.com have your Premier League betting covered with the best stats on Harry Kane, Riyad Mahrez, Leicester, Southampton and Dele Alli.

Manchester City vs Tottenham – Premier League Betting

Consistent away day woes in this fixture

The away side in matches between Manchester City and Tottenham have failed to score in each of the last five meetings between the two. Tottenham have also failed to score in four of their 10 away league matches this season. Antonio Conte heads into Saturday's game having lost three games in a row as a manager for the first time in 13 years. Tottenham, meanwhile, are heading for four straight defeats for the first time since 2004. Tottenham obviously aren't expected to win on Saturday and may not even score.

Harry Kane's poor record vs Manchester City

While City are cruising towards another league title and into the next round of the Champions League, Harry Kane must be wondering what if heading into Saturday's game at the Etihad. He might want to impress Pep Guardiola, but history would suggest he won't score. He has a poor record in this fixture with two goals in 13 previous matches and none in his last eight since last netting back in 2016. Erik Lamela actually has as many goals in this fixture as Kane.

Riyad Mahrez finds goalscoring touch

Riyad Mahrez is Manchester City's top goalscorer in all competitions this season with 17. The 30-year-old has scored in eight of his last nine starts for Pep Guardiola's side and has also put the club's problems from penalties to bed. Mahrez has scored all six of his penalties in all competitions for City this season, while Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling have missed one each. Moreover, only Chelsea (six) have been awarded more penalties than City (five) in the Premier League this season

Wolves vs Leicester – Premier League Betting

Boring game alert at Molineux

Wolves' matches have seen the fewest goals in the Premier League this season (38) and recent encounters with Leicester would suggest a bit of a snooze fest for the neutrals. Since an epic seven-goal thriller in January 2019, the subsequent five games between the two have seen just two goals scored in total. Jamie Vardy scored both of those and he is out injured. Wolves have also failed to score in four of their last five home league matches.

Leicester set-piece woes

Getting a corner against Leicester is basically a penalty these days. Brendan Rodgers' side have conceded the most set-pieces in the Premier League this season (18), with 50% of the league goals they have conceded coming from dead-ball positions. Moreover, they have conceded from a set-piece in each of their last three matches, while 38% of Wolves’ league goals this season have come from set-pieces.

Role reversal for these two teams

At the start of the season many would have expected Leicester to challenge for fourth and Wolves to be content with a mid-table finish. Since the start of October, however, Leicester are the 11th best team in the Premier League, while only Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City have picked up more points than Wolves. Wolves have won nearly twice as many games (nine) as Leicester (four) in that time.

Southampton vs Everton – Premier League Betting

Southampton strong at home this season

Frank Lampard has endured a bit of a mixed start as Everton boss with a 4-1 win over Brentford followed up by a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle and a 3-0 victory over Leeds last weekend. Everton's recent results at St. Mary's would suggest a defeat will now follow again on Saturday.

Everton have remarkably only won three of their last 15 matches away to Southampton, while Lampard has only won one of five previous encounters with them as manager. The Saints have impressively only lost one home game all season but have drawn seven of their 11 matches at St. Mary's.

The Saints go marching right from the start

Only Manchester City (12) and Liverpool (eight) have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches than Southampton (six) in the Premier League this season. That is four times as many as Everton have managed in that period.

The right place for Alli to reboot stalling career

Dele Alli has had a miserable few years and Frank Lampard is tasked with the job to get the former England international back to his best following his January move to Everton.

In Alli's career, he has only scored more goals against Watford and Chelsea (both six) than in matches with Southampton (five). Looking into those encounters more closely, and Alli has actually played a direct hand in 10 goals in nine league matches against Southampton.
